Wang Chen didn't have time to explain the whole story to Su, but Su was still sure that Dago wanted to kill him.
Although I still don’t know why he did this, I can also understand that Dago is an enemy rather than a friend.
Su then decided to leave Dago alone at the top of the mountain and go down the mountain himself. After reporting the situation to the tribe, some of his own tribe would judge Dago.
As for his motive for interrogating Dago on his own, Su had no such idea at all.
In the heart of this twelve-year-old child, he subconsciously resists conflict with others.
Before leaving, Su didn't know how long it would take for him to come back. He needed to feed Dago some water to prevent Dago from starving to death.
So Su took out some water from the animal skin bag, tied it around his waist, and climbed up the rock hand with both hands.
After waking up the unconscious Dago, Su expressed his thoughts to him and prepared to feed Dago.
In the end, Dago bit Su's palm and cursed him, saying that he did not need his hypocritical help.
Su fell down the rock hand because of the pain. Looking at the blood gurgling on his palm, he couldn't help but feel aggrieved and asked Dago why he was so cruel.
And it was this question that caused Su to fall into deep self-disgust.
And unveiled the mystery of the Hunting Wind clan for Wang Chen.
…
The Hunting Wind clan was originally more than one tribe, all of which believed in Hunting Wind. There were dozens of tribes, large and small, that made their living by nomadic fishing and hunting.
After years of fighting, all the tribes were finally merged into one tribe, which is now the Hunting Wind Clan.
And absorbing the population of dozens of tribes has caused the Hunterwind clan to expand in size unprecedentedly. Tribal leaders use a ranking system to divide the tribesmen who rule.
The standard of this ranking system is very simple, based on blood ties. The people of that tribe who wage war to conquer others are revered as the most noble one-word names.
These people can have unique names, own their own pastures and properties, hold the power of sacrifice, and are not engaged in production. Tribal leaders are selected from among them.
For example, Su, his uncle Gang, and even his grandfather...
Then comes the two-letter name.
These people can have two-character names, and they can own a certain amount of pasture and property. During wartime, each household needs to recruit a soldier. After the war, they can get mutton sheep or pasture as a pension.
For example, Yabo, Dago...
The most successful among them could only become a leader's attendant.
Then there is the three-character name.
They cannot own their own pastures and can only rely on the people of the two upper levels to make a living on their pastures.
Even when there is no war, people of higher rank can recruit them to fight, and there is no need to pay pensions to their families. You only need to pay compensation to the pasture owner of the drafted subject.
By analogy, rights are constantly being exploited, until after the five-character name, they are untouchable.
They wander outside the tribe without any way to make a living. They make a living by picking up the leftover bones of the upper class. They serve as the first warning before the prairie wolves invade.
The strict ranking system disciplines the members of the Hunting Wind clan, leaving the upper and lower classes with little mobility for hundreds of years.
A Hunter Wind tribesman's future is destined from birth. No matter how hard he tries, a two-character name cannot become a one-character name.
Does Sue know about such a thing? Of course he knows.
He has been told by his father and brother since he was a child that he has a noble one-letter name and that he must pay attention to his words and deeds and be worthy of the glory of the nobility.
He originally thought that this was a matter of course. In his heart, he might have some preferential treatment, but he also had his obligations.
For example, he must be wise enough to lead his people through the cold winter that occasionally comes on the grassland.
Another example is that he must be brave enough to lead his tribe to hunt the strong wind and fight against foreign enemies.
These are the obligations he has to bear, just like the lower classes need to work hard to support him, they are all their own obligations.
This is what Su has always told himself.
Until Dago roared to him and revealed the reason why he wanted to kill Su, he could no longer convince himself like this.
Dago, who has a two-letter name, fell in love with a girl with a four-letter name in the pasture next to her.
As a girl with a four-letter name, this girl was born to be a slave, and she had no control over everything in her life.
She is like a piece of merchandise that can be bought and sold at the owner's discretion.
Until Dago appeared in her life.
He respects her and won't handle her like an animal, nor will he force her to do something she doesn't want to do.
Over time, the girl understood Dago's thoughts, and she fell in love with this handsome and gentle young man. But because of his identity, he could only hide it and respond to Dago with hidden and deep love.
She would look at Dago with gentle eyes when grazing on the pasture; when she was helping him sew his clothes, she would embroider the prayer grass symbolizing love on the inside of the clothes; when Dago was caught by the cold, she would go into the forest to help him. Find herbs and place them secretly at his door only at night.
She hoped that such secret love could continue until she was given as a reward by her master to a slave with the same four-letter name.
But she didn't know that Dago planned to rescue her from this kind of life, and he didn't intend to possess a lower-class girl as a plaything like his father and brothers.
Instead, he planned to truly and permanently rescue this girl and spend the rest of his life with her growing old together.
Dago plans to elope with the girl and escape to the human world in one month.
The moon covers the sky, which is the darkest time on the grassland. Even the moon will be completely blocked by thick dark clouds, so that day is the best time to escape.
Dago packed up all his valuable belongings and hid them on the edge of the forest, waiting for the girl to join him.
He prepared an old horse that could safely send them away from the grassland when the moon covered the sky and blocked their vision.
However, he waited until dawn, but did not see the girl.
Dago felt sad and worried in his heart. The sad thing was that he was wondering whether he had misunderstood the girl's behavior and she had not actually fallen in love with him; or she had fallen in love with him, but not to the point of running away with him. .
You are worried that the girl is actually willing to elope with him, but something unexpected happened on the way here. After all, this is the moon covering the sky. Maybe she was attacked by a lone wolf?
Thousands of terrifying possibilities flashed through his mind, and Dago walked back in a hurry.
He looked around, fearing that he would overlook the girl in need of help.
However, walking all the way back to the pasture area of his home, he still didn't see the girl.
Suddenly, a woman's cry came from a dilapidated low tent on the adjacent grassland.
Dago's heart tightened and he hurried over.
The closer he got, the clearer the woman's cry became, and Dago's heart became heavier.
He lifted up the felt cloth and reached forward with the torch in his hand, revealing everything in the short tent before his eyes.
